File to flag if the system needs restart
Creates /var/run/needs_restarting file if any "critical" package got
upgraded. As the /var/run/ is ephemeral and renewed each boot, the
file disappears after reboot.
The packages that flags the restart need are:
- kernel-generic, kernel-huge: as a new kernel needs a restart to be
running.
- glibc, glibc-solibs: Restart is the only way to be sure that all
running binaries are using the new glibc.
- eudev, elogind, dbus: those provides some very basic system
services.
- openssl, openssl-solibs: security bugs on those libs are dangerous,
the reboot makes sure that all running binaries are using the newer
version.
